My dad moved in to Autumn Glen a few weeks ago! He is loving being part of the Autumn Glen family. Everyone is so welcoming! My dad felt like part of a family as soon as he moved in. The staff is fantastic! He is adjusting very well to living in this community and making friends participating in the social activities. He has said that it has exceeded his expectations and loves the delicious meals and enjoying them with the new friends he has made. It is a relief for me and my sister to know that he is well taken care of!

The journey to bringing my in-laws to Autumn Glen began two years ago, when my mother-in-law began to experience some health issues but my father-in-law insisted that he could care for both his wife and himself. We all watched as he stubbornly held fast to this belief, as they continued to embrace being "snowbirds" and heading to Florida in the winter, and back to their home on Martha's Vineyard in the summer. Fast forward to earlier this year, and with health issues affecting my father-in-law, family members began to point out that daily living had become a struggle for both of them, and my in-laws were relying heavily on neighbors to assist them. My in-laws knew where I worked, and while I kept telling them about what Autumn Glen could provide, they continued to be hesitant until one BIG health issue for my father-in-law provided the catalyst for the move. They moved in on November 1, a day full of emotion for my in-laws with them believing (and voicing) they were only going to stay at Autumn Glen through the winter and return to Martha's Vineyard in the spring. Within weeks the only thing my father-in-law was saying, or rather asking, is if Autumn Glen is giving Disney World a run for its money as being "the happiest place on Earth." He could not get over how friendly, supportive and caring the staff has been -- from maintenance to dining to reception to RCAs -- he marveled at the ease of living he was experiencing. Both he and my MIL are now eating three healthy meals a day, participating in programming, and the stress of wondering what the day will bring is melting away. They recognize how safe they are, that help is only a pendant-push away for any emergency. While I could offer nursing support, my family received a ton of guidance and help from Ann LaMere, sales director, and Erin Fowler, executive director. My husband was the leader when it came to moving my in-laws into Autumn Glen, and each time he reached out to Ann and Erin with questions, they went above and beyond to help him navigate the move, including being available by text after normal business hours. My husband thought they were doing this because I work at Autumn Glen, and I looked at him, puzzled, and said, "They do this for everyone. That's who they are." That's the culture at Autumn Glen. I would never have pushed for my in-laws to move to Autumn Glen but for the fact that good people work there, that my in-laws will be taken care of, and that regardless of what their future holds, AG will be their home.
I have been performing at Autumn Glen for over 2 years. It is such an amazing community in many aspects, from its compassionate and caring staff to its residents. 🎶 Music has a way of unlocking memories, sparking joy, and bringing residents together in the most beautiful ways 🎶 I have seen firsthand how a familiar melody can light up a face, bring back cherished moments, and even encourage those who may not speak often to sing along 🎤 🙏🏼 Thank you for allowing me the opportunity in making a difference in the lives of your community. The smiles, the tears of happiness, and the hands tapping along to the beat—these moments are priceless, and I am grateful for every single one 💚💙
If it was possible to give AG ten stars, I would. They have provided the most exceptional care for our loved one for over 3 years. From the start, they were encouraging to always do a schedule of activities that have allowed our loved one to enjoy a quality of life not imagined. The facility is in a lovely setting and the caregivers who are working here are very concerned and caring for all the residents. I have seen a consistency in staff from day one. If you have a loved one who is experiencing memory loss, this is an excellent facility. As you can see from the photos I have included, AG always does an amazing job with a family & friends celebration.
From our first encounter with the sales director Ann, we were very impressed with Autumn Glen. Ann was so helpful during the stressful time of determining the best placement for our mother when independent living was no longer the best option. The entire staff are so pleasant and they will do anything to help both families and residents become acclimated. They love the residents, and I nearly always saw hugs shared between residents and employees when I was there. There are activities all day each day of every type: exercise, mindfulness, games, musical, artistic, cooking, wine tastings, and outings. The staff go above and beyond to stimulate the minds and bodies of the residents. There are lovely family activities, too, like a recent cookout in May and the Christmas party in December. The food is also excellent. It could take your loved one a bit of time to settle in and to become accustomed to the routine, but overall, we are very satisfied with the care our mother received at Autumn Glen.
